Lol I am rageing, Frustrated as how IJN Sucked so bad.

I just don’t get it, my opponent tells us IJN is 1 transport away at game beginning to conquer basically everything but Hawaii. I can see that this is possible, how does IJN stay afloat if US goes KJF?

Does IjN want US in war ASAP?
Does Germany want Russia in war ASAP

Was it my fault as Germany in not engaging Russia T1 or T2

I avoided war w RU till rd 4, used this time to build up navy and AF.
I know this is NVR a first rd buy w Germany, But
2 tech rolls which gave me H Bombers and I bought a BB
Crushed France, Normandy and Yugo, sank Uk fleets not containing a BB

Turn 2
Carrier, 2 trans, 2 destroyers, cruiser, 1 dice
conquered what was left of mainland Europe.
sank some French and UK Ships raided Canada convoy

Turn 3
cruiser, transport, 11 inf.
didn’t do much attacking, prepared for coming land battle.
Forced UK Fleet to Canada, took Sweden, loaded a inf on Italian tranny bound for cairo

Turn 4
3 tanks, 10 inf.
Invaded Russia,he had 3 nice stacks up against our Eastern border, 14+ inf + 2-3 “others” in them w no Air def. In all of them
I smashed top stack with grunts n tanks, middle stack was beaten w, inf n planes
Took Leningrad via navy and air.
Southern stack I left alone hoping he would push them in to grey territory, and he did

Turn 5
3 tanks, bomber, 6 inf.
retook Leningrad, smashed his invading 14 inf stack, started push on Moscow.

This point in the game Stuff went really sour for my allies.
I did what I could to help, but its wasn’t enough. 
It certainly didn’t help that Italy only had a wounded BB survive it’s T1 naval engagement w the UK med fleet

I think my allies just were not that smart. IJN Player didn’t listen till it was two late, Italy was tunnel visioned , and I bought a BB, LOL

Or maybee its was the 73 ipc from USA and the additional 50 ipcs from UK and the 12 ipcs from china vs Japans 40 something IPCs

I’m not saying that the IJN player played brilliantly, cause he didn’t, I just don’t see how the Axis can over come a KJF.

and no I was not IJN

Its simple math man, the combined Pacific allied income is far greater then japans, Japan can’t expand with out bringing everyone to the party.

@ItIsILeClerc:

I think some1 has just died a horrible death at the hands of an allied armada

Actually as Germany I was doing quit well, Had  sizeable army, huge Luftwaffe, and a capable surface fleet when Japan went belly up.

I am convinced even after 1 game, a dedicated kill Japan first stray, will always win. I honestly don’t see how Japan cab counter.
Sure you can land grab china, maybe even invade Russia, spring the Mongols, but if India is still kicking when Us fleet arrives in Alaska. Your done, US Bombs anything it wants in sea of Japan, Japan gets stuck on its Island, Us or Russia takes or holds  land territory for landing zones for Us Bombers, Once Japan has no boats, IC gets bombed into stone age and Japan is building 13 ipcs for 1 inf.

The US should never enter the game unless provoked.
We didn’t enter till Pearl, and if pearl NVR happens, y should the isolationist nation ever enter.

US Gear up, their peace time economy is larger then Germans war time economy. How is this even fair?

They took 2 good stand alone games, and made an allied favored game

If UK has to split their income, The USA should have to as well.
The USA is Way over powered. END OF STORY.

The 2 Global varients made by forum members blow this steamy pile away.

I will say that the actual game unit molds were pretty sweet. I did enjoy those little eye candies.

Is that better?

Just played my first game on this world map.
I was Germany.
This version sucks chickens.
Moving 3 spaces during combat from naval base is a joke.
American Bombers bombing Sea of Japan from west coast USA and having a place to land in Russia is a horrible broken mechanic of the map.
If Usa stays neutral till turn 4, why do they get to declare war turn 3?
Japans hands are tied unless they want the whole world at war.
The Mongolian/russian treaty is a joke,
If Japan decides to go land war, they are up a creek.
USA Economy is way to large for any 1 axis nation to overcome.
There is no need for a KGF stray, cause u can easily strangle and enclose Japan to a worthless fortified island in no time.

I’m glad I didn’t spend 200$ on this rubbish version.

Even with all of them combined, German Air Power would still need Boots on the ground to be able to make any meaningful gains.

What Germany lacked wasn’t so much equipment to fight with. They needed pilots, a better training regime maybe, or AF Academy

Tirpitz….  Took forever to sink,
two bad Adolf was to impatient w Bizzy,

Imagine the breakout with, Bizzy,Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, Graf Spee, plus supporting Destroyers and subs

6 atomic bombs and the means to deliver??

1 on London. Sue for peace " or else" option
2 on Manchester…. England will surrender after that

The French will surrender… Well because their French
Poland would be crushed conventionally, and the rest of Europe would be annexed
from fear of same fate as Poland or London.

Now I would hold the other 4 in reserve. I know I only got 4 left but the rest of the world does not.

My next move would be towards the middle east, not Russia.

I don’t think any 1 technology from Germany would have helped at all.
Japan imho lost the war the day they Bombed Pearl.
Why?
Because with all their planning, practicing, hush hush, and training, they forgot the biggest weapon of all…. A amphibious landings on Hawaii.

Their surprise attack had Air and Sea but no land forces.
Just imagine the Technolgy, resources, and military hardware they would have captured had they brought a land invasion w them.

Well played again last weekend.
Axis victory….Allied player surrendered…after 13 hrs lol.
game was far from over… Russia was close to being on the ropes.

we played w 2 national advantages ea.
Russia had noble industry and salvage
Germany had Wolf packs and U boat intervention
Uk had Sub Hunters and joint strike
Japan had kamikazes and kaiten torps
Usa had island bases, and Flying Fortresses
Italy had Bravado Inf. And Germanic Influence

Usa got the only tech of the game of long range aircraft

German players focus was 80-20 for most of the game vs Russia.
Although Germany did focus 2 buy phases solely on Naval power.
At quitting time Germany hosted a 3 carrier, 1 cruiser, 1 BB, 7 DD, 3 TRNY, 11 sub Fleet along w about 10 land based fighters,  2 tac bombers, 3 strategic bombers.

Uk used its joint strike almost to perfection… They wiped out 2/3rds of japans total naval and naval air power, sizeable landings in Europe,Africa, and a major India thrust w. China in support.

Axis land based airpower eventually crushed indias uprising, the Luftwaffe pushed the French invasion back to the beaches and Italian Armour and air pushed them off the mainland. Although losing a chunk of Africa in the process.  America had a nice convoy going back  and forth between Washington and morrocco.

Overall a fun game…

Hello all, been with out a comp for a long while now as u can tell.
I will try to get to one this weekend. I drive a semi for a living so I don’t get much
Internet time, driving and sleeping…

The Issue is Germany’s ability to build Ships in the English channel.
If Germany focus’s its efforts on a combined arms sea lion with repeated assaults Uk Will fall on rd 2 with good german dice or rd 3 if Ge dice average.

I have family in Russellville, next time im in Arkansas i’ll look u up

will update tomorrow  :-D

:-D List updated  :-D

@Gargantua:

If D-Day had failed, and the war in Europe was still raging away as a stale mate in the east, the Americans would have dropped the nuke on Berlin for sure.

Or Bremen/something like it.

I thought you meant it would have landed in the hands of the Germans, not used on them, my bad

srry, been busy with kids and life and such, will get on it soon

@Gargantua:

Nukes probably would have landed in europe instead.

How, since the father of the Nuclear bomb was/is American? Openhiemer or how ever it is spelled.

yes changing altitude uses up 1 speed movement.  As long as your not going fast speed, if your going fast it would use 2

The “S” turns includes the “Immelman turn”

I think you may be wrong here. There are a few Survivors left today that can fly.

By far My fav. is the Folke Wulfe 190. If i ever win the lottery, that would be my extravagant Purchase, or maybe a Huey :evil:
